Co-responsibility: the way forward for leadership in the Catholic Church

"The church is at a critical point where change needs to take place. We just can’t keep going the way we’ve been going,” says renowned author and speaker, Chris Lowney, who will be in Melbourne and Ballarat in early September. “We need to foster a culture within the Church that embraces change and which truly values and enables co-responsibility.” Chris Lowney shares his thoughts on leadership, co-responsibility, creativity, accountability and 'guerilla tactics'.

Catholic Social Services Victoria invites members, friends and those we work with to our Annual Dinner on Friday 30 August 2019 at the Catholic Leadership Centre, East Melbourne, 6.30pm for 7pm. This is an opportunity to celebrate our work and to strengthen the links between those who are active within our broad community of service. The dinner will also be an occasion to honour Sr Brigid Arthur csb with Life Membership of Catholic Social Services Victoria; and an occasion to farewell our outgoing Executive Director, Denis Fitzgerald.

Members and friends are cordially invited to join with Catholic Social Services Victoria for a lunchtime briefing on Wednesday 28 August, on #JusticeSolutions: lessons from New Zealand led by colleagues at Jesuit Social Services. New Zealand has introduced a number of innovations in many aspects of their justice system, and a program of reform that is “about developing long-term solutions to keep people safe, allow communities to thrive, and build a justice system that we can all be proud of."

Chris Lowney is a noted author and presenter on leadership, and holds senior leadership roles in the Catholic health sector in the USA.

We are delighted that Chris will join us for a breakfast briefing on Friday 6 September on the topic 'Shared Leadership: Insights and Challenges for Catholic Services'.
